DWI/DUI DEFENSE

Ellicottville NY DWI Lawyer

Having an experienced DWI Attorney for your criminal defense case is essential for best results. A blood alcohol level of 0.08% or higher for adults or 0.02% for those under 21 can result in a DWI conviction.

If convicted of a NY DWI, you may have your license revoked or suspended, face high fines and in some circumstances jail or prison time.

A conviction remains on your driver’s record and can restrict your freedom to drive in New York State or to Canada for up to ten years.

A DWI conviction will jeopardize your freedom to drive and may even result in jail time.

DWI is generally a misdemeanor, however, a second or third offense or a DWI with a child under 15 in the vehicle may be prosecuted as a felony charge, bringing you even more severe consequences and up to thousands of dollars in fines.

You may be restricted to a conditional driver’s license and/or subject to substance abuse treatment.

There is no time to waste if you charged with DWI. Contact the Law Office of John C. Nelson, in Ellicottville NY, for an immediate consultation about your case. He is always available to clients and willing to go the extra mile to get a win for them.

1. Dismantle and Discredit Their Procedure

Attacking their procedure comes in many forms. The prosecution must follow New York Laws, including the Criminal Procedure Law (CPL). When the prosecution doesn’t follow the Criminal Procedure Law, the evidence can be suppressed or limited, which sometimes leads to dismissals or reductions in the charges.

We attack their procedure under the United States and New York Constitutions. The most common procedures the people must follow (and protections given to you) are under the 4th, 5th, 6th, 8th and 14th Amendments of the US Constitution. These are the rights you most commonly hear about: right from unreasonable searches, right to an attorney, Miranda, etc.

When the police violate one of these charges, it can lead to dismissal or reduction of the charges or evidence to be excluded.

2. Reveal and Reduce Their Evidence

We then discredit their evidence. We file discovery motions and obtain their evidence. Many times the prosecution’s witnesses will give incomplete or missing statements. We take all of the witnesses statements, police reports and any other evidence and enter all of the information into our cross reference system. We expose all inconsistencies in blood results, breath tests, statements and reports.

By closely examining their evidence, we expose their weaknesses, leading to more favorable outcomes. Often, we employ a private investigator to investigate leads, crime scenes and police records. Some of our best victories were achieved when our investigator discredited the prosecution’s witnesses.

3. Introduce and Implement Our Procedure

Through subpoenas, Orders to Show Cause and FOIL (Freedom of Information Law) Requests, we can gather our own evidence to gather the evidence that’s favorable to you. The police aren’t required to defend you or build your case. They have one goal, to build their case. We implement our own procedure to build your case.

4. Validate and Verify Our Evidence

We present our own evidence in a few different ways. After we have followed the first steps, we then use the evidence to fight your case during negotiations or trial to reach the best resolution.

5. Exonerate Your Character

In reality, we present you first, not last. You are the most important part of steps one-four. You are crucial to each part because often you personally know of the police’s illegal procedures or shaky evidence.

But, this case is about you. The police have charged with you with a crime and labeled you as a criminal. That’s not you; that’s not your identity. You are much more than that. We paint the true picture of you. Maybe you are taking care of four children and still working forty hours a week. I highly doubt the police report will reflect that. The court and the people must know that about you. Like us, they are imperfect people, working in an imperfect system.
